This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity (This World of Ours)

â€œI first became an avid student of David Christian by watching his course, Big History, on DVD, and so I am very happy to see his enlightening presentation of the worldâ€™s history captured in these essays. I hope it will introduce a wider audience to this gifted scientist and teacher.â€ â€”Bill Gates

A great historian can make clear the connections between the first Homo sapiens and todayâ€™s version of the species, and a great storyteller can make those connections come alive. David Christian is both, and This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity, makes the journeyâ€”from the earliest foraging era to the agrarian era to our own modern eraâ€”a fascinating one. Ready to help your students give up their preconceptions that anything old is probably boring? Enter This Fleeting World.

A compact, easy-to-read overview recommended by teachers for curriculum development, classroom preparation, and student review. This Fleeting World is popular with world history teachers who need a birdâ€™s eye view and with students preparing for the Advanced Placement World History examination. Itâ€™s used in college-level world history courses in the United States and Europe.

â€œThis Fleeting World provides world history teachers and students the â€˜big pictureâ€™ that world history demands: big enough to incorporate historical content beyond just the last few thousand years; yet simple enough to be easily understood by average readers.â€ â€” Bill Strickland, College Board Consultant for AP World History
